Nice scooter Mick, I hope you are high bidder. The cost of the scooter is not that much but all the chicks...........

 

Who wore it better?

 

Paint it pink, flip it to a girl for a tidy profit.




TPGE-811 is a reportedly crappy Chinese model number sold under several brands. I doubt you'll actually want to ride it, but if you do, the scooter community recommends changing the chinese break-in oil immediately, and checking all the bolts, preferably replacing any loose ones, not tightening them, they're something like grade one and strip easily. Those tiny front wheels lock up easily on some scooters, and you don't want to do that on a scooter, get a feel for them before riding in traffic. Biella is the town where Vespa scooters were first made; they probably named it that to mislead people into thinking it's an Italian scoot. Unless it actually is, who knows about internet information.

 

A Honda Navi would be much cooler. But good luck trying to find one, went on sale this month and already dealers are taking pre-orders. If they'd had one in a color I could live with, I might have brought one home last week, but I won't order without at least sitting on one, and none to sit on. That's a luggage pack under the gas tank, motor is behind it. Claimed to get over 100mpg, 55 top speed, meaning don't drive in traffic over 50. That's actually better performance than most small scooters.

 

I think that's the best looking modern Indian I've seen, but I'd have to black out those metal robot heads. Like the looks better than the new sportster with those enormous mufflers. And they have robot heads, too.

 

Told meself I'd fix a batch of chili today, should get started. Later maybe.

 

Sad to say I did win the auction. I was pumped about how hilarious it would be to cruise through the neighborhood but Moldy has **** on my dreams. I will take pics when I pick it up and maybe I will get lucky and someone will **** on my photography skills.

I have other areas I am willing to expose to ridicule but baby steps, ya know?

 

I laughed at the first one. Freaking lost it at the second. I'll keep my comments about your photography to myself, and maybe like, four other people. So feel free to click away!

 

Mick,
Moldie may have taken classes from the Master Dream Killer, Russ of the local HOA board.

 

BTW - I thinking cruising your neighborhood on your HHS (Happy Hour Scooter) whilst sharing cocktails and mirth down the block is a heck of an idea!
Do send pictures.
